Cold feet!

Does anyone feel like they can’t keep the heat in while losing weight? I’ve only just started but my house is a decent temperature and I’m bloody freezing! I felt this a few days ago too! X

    A lot of people experience this when they are in a deficit. Your body temperature can lower. It usually takes a little time for this to kick in so make sure you are not eating too little. There is definitely such a thing as losing too fast.

    It may also be temporary if you did something like cut out a large portion of carbs from your normal way of eating.

    Yes! I get cold while sitting at my desk. If I get up and walk around, I warm up. Some times I just gotta turn the heat up!

    I wear socks to bed because my feet get cold if I don’t!.....I take a jacket in the car because I get chilly....before I lost weight, I was always too hot!

    when i changed my diet and lost some weight i was freezing all the time. turns out my iron was ridiculously low. if it keeps up, it wouldn't hurt to check your blood work.
